Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is ‘very, very close’ to agreeing a new contract at the club, according to chief executive Angus Kinnear.
The 64-year-old, who has been at Elland Road since 2018, led Leeds to the Championship title last season, securing a long-awaited return to the top-flight.
The Argentine’s contract expired at the end of the campaign, but he is widely expected to lead the club in the Premier League this season.
"I know fans are nervous, it makes me a bit nervous, but I don't think there is any reason to be," Kinnear said.
"Marcelo is absolutely focused on training, but like last season where I know everyone was nervous about the contract, it is about him getting the time to focus on signing it.
"While we have conversations pretty much daily, it tends to be about the season preparations rather than his contract."
Leeds will begin their first Premier League season since 2003/04 with a trip to Anfield to face champions Liverpool on the opening day next month.
